I fiddle with my phone a lot when I’m in public. I don’t really play games on it, but I’m always looking for something new to read. I automatically go to my favorite sports sites to read up-to-date news, but sometimes those sites aren’t very user-friendly on mobile browsers.

I recently downloaded the CBS Sports app and I find it easier to navigate than other sports sites and apps. I have deleted a handful of other sports apps since downloading this app.

I just added all my favorite teams and I can easily track the scores. I even added a few teams I don’t like, but have fantasy baseball players on my teams. Having to see St. Louis Cardinals scores is a small price to pay to keep track of Randal Grichuk and Seung-hwan Oh’s performances.

As a avid Twitter user, I love one feature the most on the CBS Sports app. If you click on a game in the scoreboard that is on the schedule, you can follow a Twitter feed of specific team-related Twitter accounts. I don’t have to use my own Twitter, which is currently a bit clogged up with accounts that cover ALL sports. If I want to read some tweets about the Chicago Cubs/Cincinnati Reds game, all the important tweets are right there. Also, if the game is in progress, there is a Gametracker that gives you a pitch-by-pitch update (or whatever increment your sport goes by).

You can even stream live video of CBS Sports event on the sports app...which is a nice bonus during the NCAA Tournament. You will no longer need to minimize your Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to watch the games at work.

As a writer that covers sports myself, I’m a bit picky about which writers I read. I love writers that refrain from grandiose hyperbole. I’ve downloaded other sports apps in the past, but the writers were all about exaggerated click-bait headlines. This sports app gets it right with their columnists.

Want to read awesome NBA news? This app has Matt Moore covering the sport.

Want to read in-depth MLB columns? This app has Jonah Keri’s long-form articles.

Want to read NFL breaking news? This app has Jason La Canfora out-scooping other NFL writers.

As a person whose cell phone and tablet are glued to their hand, the CBS Sports app is a nice addition to my home screen. It’s by far the best Free Android sports app in the Google Play store.
